At present, creatine is the most popular muscle building supplement out there. In fact, it's the only naturally-occurring supplement (your body makes creatine on its own) that can actually help you build lean muscle mass. Here're some of the reasons why...
Each muscle cell in your body contains an enzyme called creatine kinase that removes a phosphate from ATP and stores that phosphate in a molecule of creatine. The resulting ADP returns to the mitochondrion, where another phosphate is attached.
The end result is a "reserve tank" of ATP to fuel your workouts. You'll be able to push your muscles harder thereby making greater gains. But how can you reap the benefits of creatine supplements...
the
way?!
Before you embark on any sort of supplement program, it's extremely important to understand how to take creatine! You can't just pop a pill or take some powder whenever you feel down - there's a method to it!
One of the most effective ways to take creatine is through cycling, while another popular method is creatine loading. However, taking creatine can really improve your results, especially if you take them correctly!
